Suggestion: A multiselect of the grid rows would be awesome. The one time I am really missing it is to force the wait time of the slot from a few hours to now or a few minutes via the pause/fold trick. So, currently, I sort the grid by Progress, then rightclick on each 0% row one by one, to first select PauseSlot and then FoldSlot. It would be awesome if I could just select those 0% rows by sort & select & shift+select to select a range or just multiple ctrl+selects to select non-contiguous rows, and then use the context menu to pause/fold.

Response: Gotcha, select multiple slots and act on several at once. Let me just say this... the UI layer needs work and that's all easier said than done until I get in there and deal with some decisions from 10 years ago. Again, back in the v6 days selecting multiple clients (slots wasn't a thing) didn't make any sense. HFM was just a monitor, you couldn't effect the actual FAHClient (Fold, Pause, Finish). Anyway, UI rework is on my todo list. In fact, I want to get HFM to the point where I can define slots and configure the entire client... a complete alternative for FAHControl. That's a ways down the road, don't get too excited.
